"At this time, we can confirm that one individual is deceased, and another person is in custody in connection with this incident," the office said Sunday.
An online inmate database for the Crawford County Detention Center showed Edwards was booked Sunday afternoon on suspicion of first-degree murder. He lives at the home that investigators were focused on Sunday. The home is owned by Edwards' mother, according to public records.
On Monday, online court records showed charges of second-degree murder filed against Edwards.
According to the probable cause statement, officers were called to the home for a report of a break-in and later received another call for a shooting. Edwards told officers on the scene that he shot and killed the man after the man "came at [Edwards] with something in his hands."
The probable cause statement said Edwards' mother told police the man who was shot and killed lived at the home for many years but was recently evicted. She told police the man had forced his way into the home on April 2, and came to the home a day later and was yelling and beating on the doors and walls. She installed a camera on her home and said she was the one to call the police about the break-in on Sunday when she saw the man's car in her driveway.
